A campaign to oppose a medical waste incinerator in Knowsley had led to Labour councillors being accused of “sounding off on Facebook like you’re on Jeremy Kyle” by activists.
The remarks were made by one of the organisers of Stop the Incinerator, a group opposed to the plans, which could see tonnes of medical waste burned at an industrial estate in Simonswood on the outskirts of Kirkby.
The proposals fall under Lancashire Council, although protesters say housing estates in Kirkby and other parts of Knowsley will be the area to feel the effects of the plans.
